PS I read where the one ex Visalia cop said they told Sacramento they thought there murders were related to the murder in Visalia but They dismissed it. Well that didn’t mean Visalia cops couldn’t stop looking in Sacramento. Back then Visalia was small and Exeter was really small. I lived in Visalia like 40rs and they only had the sketch of the maybe 2 or 3 times in the paper and it should’ve been everyday.

As a young person I remember reading the case. I don’t if he was guilty or not but the Golden State killer started in Visalia who was a former Exeter cop and it took 40yrs for them to catch him. That’s a stain on Law enforcement in Tulare Co because it shouldn’t taken that long to catch him. Solving murders should be top priority for law enforcement not wasting time going to a prayer meeting. There should be no unsolved murders in Tulare Co.

Sounds like Mr. Reed wants to sell books. May I remind him that if his allegations are true and if he has substancial proof then he could prove his good intenttions by presenting thiss information to the state AG for starters.

There isn’t a convict in prison who doesn’t claim that they are innocent of their specific crimes. Not one!

Meanwhile, enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame at the expense of the effected families.

Reid said Tulare County’s current district attorney, Tim Ward, is still intentionally withholding evidence that proves Clifton was innocent. Not a shock after reading that last article about Wards conduct in the Benvzeebi prosecution. I’d imagine there’s lots more here regarding Ward that we don’t know. This sounds like a real threat to integrity of justice. Do our local police support this type of prosecution office? How much longer is this man in office as DA? Very concerning! I hope he holds a press conference so the public can ask questions. Reid should be there too to inquire re status of turning over more documents on the conviction integrity review.

2nd story in as many days alleging that Tim Ward is crooked?
Mr. Reid, please report your findings regarding District Attorney Tim Ward to the State Bar of California. They have recently announced that they are expediting ethics complaints and holding prosecutors accountable.
